From the Editor- Early Winter 2012

Happy holidays and happy birthday to us! We’re thrilled to be celebrating 30 years of publishing Outdoor Sports Guide with our commemorative Anniversary Issue! It includes a look back at our roots (pg.10), interviews with past staff members (pg.24), and a huge holiday buying guide to help you shop (pg.18).

But there are gifts for you too! We’re bringing back our favorite contest of old, B.S. The Boss, in which we ask you to share your best sick-day excuses for powder days to win prizes! Post your best real or imagined excuses through social media on our Facebook or Twitter (@osportsguidemag) page with the hashtag #bstheboss before January 30, 2013. Our favorite response will win two Canyons lift tickets! Get full details on page 14.
